34: Betrayed By Porn

In this episode, Marnie and Duane discuss the topic of
pornography, specifically in the context of betrayal. This
episode isn't a moral debate about pornography. Instead, it is a
candid discussion about the traumatic impact of discovering a
secret sexual life on an unknowing partner.


"It's just porn" is often used as a way to minimize the damage or
pain experienced by the partner who was left in the dark for
years. However, by definition, betrayal in itself (regardless of
the nature of the sexual behavior) causes complex trauma to those
who had no idea about their partner's secret sex life.


Please listen to understand how a secret pornography life causes
betrayal trauma and creates deep and long-lasting wounds in
couples who want to heal.
